00:00 The spending of the Office of the Vice President is smaller than the previous one.
00:04 The office of the president transferred P125 million pesos from the office of the president.
00:09 According to the question of a lawyer in COA,
00:13 and COA also answered if the transfer is legal.
00:16 Sandra Aguinaldo was the one who answered.
00:18 In discussing the plenary of the proposed 2024 budget of the Commission on Audit or COA,
00:27 it was revealed that the Office of the Vice President or OVP is using P125 million pesos as a confidential fund for 2022.
00:37 This fund became controversial because it was released by the budget department of the OVP
00:43 from the contingent fund under the leadership of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
00:48 According to COA, the release of the fund is legal,
00:51 contrary to what some say that it is against the Constitution.
00:55 But the sponsor of the COA budget, Marikina Representative Stella Kimbo,
01:00 said that the OVP spent P125 million pesos within 11 days.
01:07 The truth is, I was also surprised when I read the news that it seems that it was spent within 19 days.
01:26 I asked COA and I looked at various reports, but it was not spent within 19 days, if not 11 days.
01:54 We heard the OVP's statement on this and we are waiting for their response.
02:00 It should be transparent on the spending or use of public funds because that is the mandate of COA,
02:08 that they can report that they spent our public funds properly.
02:14 According to Kimbo, COA said that the OVP used the fund as a confidential fund
02:20 under the line item Good Governance, Engagements and Social Services Project.
02:26 The process of reporting to the confidential and intelligence fund is different.
02:31 It is not public how it was spent.
02:35 But in the previous budget briefing, it was said that there is no need for receipt for its liquidation.
02:41 But it is said that the government agencies are using documents of their own spending.
02:47 Several agencies were found to be disobedient in reporting to the confidential and intelligence fund.
02:54 A congressman asked what the punishment for disobedient in reporting is.
03:01 Under the current set of rules, there are no penalties. There are no sanctions.
03:22 That is why COA has a plan to stop the process of liquidation of funds.
03:31 The plan of some lawmakers should clarify which agency should have the right to do this.
